    a .mif file specifes the data to be initialised to a memory (.mif = memory initialisation file). If the data is a matrix you should already know how you are arranging the data in the memory (probably using the msbs for the row address and lsbs for column)?

    If you need this data displayed, you need some way of reading the data from the memory. Usually, the job is done with simple row/column counters that synchronise to your VGA controller.
